Trigger: GCM (Push notification) handler

[LastDanmer]

It would be great if it were possible to control the device through the GCM.

Basically to trigger an heartbeat you only need those 2 lines (those are undocumented, I it discovered by decompiling GSF):

Code: Select all

context.sendBroadcast(new Intent("com.google.android.intent.action.GTALK_HEARTBEAT")); 
context.sendBroadcast(new Intent("com.google.android.intent.action.MCS_HEARTBEAT"));

where context is the application context.

Would be very handy.
Currently it could be achieved by "AutoRemote" plugin for native support is always better.

Pushbullet also has plugin support for automation apps (see trigger Plugin Event when Pushbullet is installed)

Good to have native triggers:

- Send Google Cloud Messaging (GCM)
- Receive Google Cloud Messaging (GCM)

Now a day, any android cloud apps can't real time two-way sync across multiple devices. I don't know why it's so hard to do these feature. GCM can handle these job very well. GCM can also work as remote control, centralize, chat that very useful for Automagic users.

Variables are not provided, settings are not saved after I press "configure" button again...

Here an another plugin for test.

GCM would be a great addition to AM. It would eliminate the need for clunky plug-ins like autoremote or AirTask (which doesn't even work). I don't know how time consuming it is to implement though, but I think it's a useful feature. What are your thoughts Martin?
